Move the right-hand steering wheel lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.
After the lever is released, the wipers make several extra sweeps.
Important
Avoid activating the washer system when it is frozen or the fluid reservoir is empty. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the pump.
Headlight washer*
When the windshield washers are activated and the headlights are on, the headlights are also washed automatically according to a defined interval.
Reduced washing
When there is about 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid left in the reservoir and the message Washer fluid Refill washer fluid, level low is displayed in the instrument panel together with the symbol, the washer fluid supply to the headlights is cut off. This is to prioritize windshield cleaning and visibility through it. The headlights are only washed if high or low beam is on.
